Yeah, I know, and I really wasn't meaning to be snarky. The problem you're going to have (other than the organizational problems that tilt points out) is that the same people that short-arm the forum are going to short-arm any putative "study group" you put them in, and the people that are dedicated to the forum are going to spend too much time on the forum to essentially duplicate that effort. And, if they don't, then what you're doing is diluting the talent pool serving the greater number and having them serve a smaller number.

IMO, fwiw.

It really does seem to me that the interesting hands generate a lot of discussion while the "should I have dumped my BB 83o to a flop raise on an AK3r board" posts slide off pretty quickly. Personally, I usually check the first 2 pages a couple of times a day to make sure I don't miss anything good, when I don't comment it's because I don't have anything to say, and when somebody posts a ridiculous hand I tell them so in as few words as possible (unless I AM trying to be snarky which happens, well, a lot).
